This peppy cocktail snack features cashew-studded idlis coated with spicy milagai podi. Adding spiced cashews to the idli batter gives the idlis a nice peppy crunch, while tossing it with milagai podi raises the spice quotient.

Milagai Podi is a South Indian spice powder made of red chillies, which is so fiery that it is often called ‘gun powder’! It is considered a classic accompaniment for idlis. It is a good idea to make the idlis in a handy mini size, so that it will easy to pop one into your mouth!

Mini Cashew Idlis in Milagai Podi is good to have as an evening tea-time snack too. If you are serving to kids, make just the cashew-studded idlis, without tossing it in the spice powder.

Thanks for this awesome recipe mam. I tried it. It cane nice, however mine is not so dry like yours, it has got bit of lumps here and there. Nevermind , it tastes great though ! Also, I made another Bach for my kids. I made their mila gai podi using your recipe but didn’t add dry redchilly , instead added cashews almonds (roasted and powdered just like the two dals) and 1 tsp Maggi masala.
